	Holy Smokes Smoky as we call him was my first mini horse purchased in 1995 at 9 months of age. I guess you could say he is what started it all, I was hooked! Smoky is pictured here wearing his new saddle and smiling for the camera. He is more than willing to do anything you ask him to. He goes to 4-H summer camp and drives all summer long and loves it. He is shown in 4-H and Open driving classes and is a hard one to beat. Linden Houghtby has done a wonderful job with him under the guidance of Will Swierenga (Darien) with the Walworth County 4-H Horse and Pony Program. (Thanks Linden and Will.) Smoky craves attention and will trade anything for it. He is very willing and a showoff.
